National Healthcare Decisions Day is not just about making decisions; it's about ensuring those decisions are heard and respected. Despite 70% of seniors understanding the importance of advance directives, only 33% have one. Here are tips to ensure your healthcare wishes are clearly understood and honored:

Start the Conversation Early: Don't wait for a health crisis. Discuss your wishes with loved ones and healthcare providers when you're healthy.

Document Your Wishes: Complete an advance directive and a living will. Clearly state your healthcare preferences for various scenarios.

Designate a Healthcare Proxy: Choose someone who understands your values and is willing to advocate.

Educate Your Advocate: Ensure your designated health care proxy and family understand your wishes and where your documents are stored.

Review and Update Regularly: As your health and preferences evolve, so should your plans. Review and update your documents every few years or after significant life changes.

Let's empower ourselves and our loved ones with the knowledge to make informed healthcare decisions and ensure our voices are heard at every stage of life. 🗣️💼

As you age, remember to care for your mind as well as your body.

Spend time outside: Nature can remarkably rejuvenate the mind and uplift the spirit. Take a walk in the park, sit by a lake, or bask in the sunlight to refresh your outlook on life.

Use a journal: Writing down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be incredibly therapeutic. Journaling allows you to express yourself freely, gain clarity, and reflect on your emotions with greater insight.

Try new things: Stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing new experiences can invigorate your mind and ignite a sense of adventure. Whether learning a new hobby, trying a different cuisine, or exploring a new destination, embracing novelty can lead to personal growth and fulfillment.

Disconnect from technology: In today's digital age, it's essential to carve out moments of peace and solitude away from screens and devices. Disconnecting from technology allows you to be present in the moment, reduce stress, and cultivate deeper connections with yourself and others.

Adding these easy yet effective habits to your daily routine can improve your mental health, making you feel more stable, centered, and able to cope with life's ups and downs. ❤️🧠
